Utopia of the Seas is a cruise ship under construction for Royal Caribbean International. She will be the sixth ship in the Oasis Class and is scheduled to enter service on 19 July 2024 out of Port Canaveral.[3]
History
On 18 February 2019, Royal Caribbean and Chantiers de l'Atlantique announced an order of a sixth Oasis-class cruise ship for delivery in Fall 2023.[4] She will be the first in the class to be powered by liquefied natural gas.[5]
Royal Caribbean applied to register a trademark for Utopia of the Seas in 2021, along with 23 other ship names.[6] The company announced the name Utopia of the Seas at the steel cutting ceremony on 5 April 2022,[7] and the keel was laid on 1 July.[8]
The LNG-tanks were built by Wärtsila and delivered in November 2022.[9] Utopia of the Seas was floated out of the building dock in September 2023,[10] and started her sea trials on 7 May 2024.[11][12]
